SEMBRAR AIRE is dedicated to Carlos Machado, who tirelessly nurtures and plants mangrove trees on Isla Grande, Colombia. His commitment to giving back what nature provides—breathable air, clean water, and a thriving ecosystem—inspired our foundation.
SEMBRAR AIRE began during the Cité internationale des arts residency program In situ 2025-2026 in Paris, in partnership with the Fondation Carasso.
Founded by Beatrice Zaidenberg
In collaboration with Adam Hudec
SEMBRAR AIRE is part of the Dusts Institute. Since 2021, the Dusts Institute has explored the urban environment by turning invisible actors (airborne particles and microorganisms) into protagonists.
Through interactive installations, public walks, art and architecture projects, the Dusts Institute engages diverse audiences and inspires action to address current environemntal crises.
